Hasn't Donnie Darko already been discussed to death?
Gotta give him 2-3 years. The guy is only 18 years old!
Pistons said they didn't take Carmelo because they already had Tayshuan Prince. While I think that was a silly reason NOT to pick Carmelo, nobody can argue (especially after the last 2-3 weeks) that Tayshaun is a much better defensive player than Carmelo.
Carmelo got lots of PT in Denver, and he basically had a green-light to shoot. In Detroit, he wouldn't get as much PT. Just because he scored 20 ppg in Denver doesn't mean he would've scored 20 ppg in Detroit.
